It's not a meme (Marvel has done well in the past few months though on the trade-to-LCSs-side of things)
Even in 2017 (when Didio said that they weren't doing very well compared to previous years) they still sold a lot more than Marvel:
#2 Western Publisher DC Entertainment
>101 titles on the Top 750 list
>827,544 unit sales (1,234,047 previous year)
>$15,234,525 Dollar sales ($23,203,071 previous year)
#3 Image Comics
>52 titles on the top 750 list
>556,196 unit sales (908,655 previous year)
>$11,092,960 Dollar sales ($22,917,758 previous year)
#7 Marvel Comics
>50 titles on the Top 750 list
>378,689 unit sales (555,715 previous year)
>$7,840,198 dollar sales ($12,088,278 previous year)

Yeah, there was growth outside the bigger western comic publishers, but the biggest three had losses. Image can be attributed to them not selling as many Walking Dead collections as they used to.
The real areas of growth are the ones aimed more at kids (Scholastic, Penguin), which is why DC is launching those kid and teen OGN lines.
Dark Horse also fell apart (losing Star Wars has really hurt) and out of the Top 10 publishers.
Boom, IDW, Oni, and Archie had small gains last year.

Not that anon, but it sucks because they sometimes reprint hard-to-find material (like Starstruck), but the sales are never good enough to continue the line.
For example, they published two omnibuses of Grimjack, but those only contained up to ~issue 30 out of 81.
They also have the occasional "Artist Edition" of some things (some Kirby Kamandi, Forever People, and F4)

Overshipping would cause a larger discrepancy between retail and unit share. Unit share counts overshipped units as sold units, while retail market share doesn't. In both cases, the gap between Marvel and DC is about the same.

Holy fuck... Bendis didn't make the top ten at all and had returnable books up until issue 4. How bad will #5 and #6 be? Holy fuck. I knew this would be cancer but maybe thisll tank faster than we thought and he steps aside before he hits 4 digit numbers.

I have no fucking clue what they were thinking hiring him, let alone for Superman, let alone for both Superman ongoings, let alone at the cost of like 4-5 books total, let alone to also publish his creator owned trash.

This. It could be a shill low as 60 now and that's with order requirements on returnablility. That books DOA, I hope they get the message just give a good announcement for once since Bendis was announced as being hired and kick his ass off both super books.

There actually hasn't been an overshipping kerfuffle since like late 2016. Seriously, go find any articles after that retailers summit went disastrous on them. They're still shitty as fuck AF but only the comixology shills are making a stink about in lately in an attempt to gain legitimacy for their arbitrary numbers.

No one actually has numbers of units sold for LCS. It’s not reported. Unit share and retail share are measuring the same thing just in a different way. Diamond gets paid for overshipped books that sit on shelves the same as books that actually sell.

Don’t fall for Marvel’s creative accounting and Jew tactics.

This is a DCfriend comic sales thread.
The rules are: Marvel is faking sales, DC is the best because they actually sell the most comics, and sales are the definitive indicator of creative quality.

You have this confused with a Comic Movie thread, where Marvel sells the most tickets, but sales are absolutely no indicator whatsoever of creative quality.

Learn the difference.

While I do agree with the point of your post at the same time it's been this real concerted effort by comixology shills to cast aspersion on Comichron numbers and threads by incessantly REEing about overshipping as if that matters for gauging non-marvel titles month to month.

Last few months threads have been infested with one or two of the piece of shit shills (along with the normal big 2 shills and companyfags)

People, people! It doesn't matter who has the biggest market share, Who dominates trades or who overships. The important thing is that Bendis Man Of Steel isn't in the top 10. Surely we can all agree that's a good thing?

... yes, and overshipped units are free to retailers. That's what creates the discrepancy. Retailers don't pay for overshipped units so they don't count towards retail share, while still counting towards unit share because retail share is how much money the publishers made while unit share is how many comics were shipped out. Any month where Marvel overships, there is a massive discrepency where Marvel obliterates DC in terms of unit share yet sales are really close in retail share despite Marvel charging more for their comics. Those are months where Marvel overships. Since that discrepancy isn't here, you can tell that they didn't overship or at least didn't overship to a high enough degree that it's noticable.

The only stupid, ignorant, casual fuck here is you.

The actual event might have been disappointing but all the tie in stuff was fantastic making the omnibus more worthwhile than the trade. Plus it lead to 52 which forgives the book of any edgyness it had.
